An industry presentation at the AFIA Pet Food Conference argued that rendered animal ingredients and byproducts are valuable for pet food and sustainability. Speaker Ansen Pond of Pilgrim's/JBS USA cited that about 49% of cattle, 37% of poultry and 44% of swine raw materials are inedible for human food.
The article describes a nutrition and sustainability argument for rendered ingredients rather than a new supply or demand shift, so it has little direct effect on feed commodity prices.
